I'm not even posting the meme because the thought of Scar trying to seduce anyone is too absurd. He would never do it on purpose. In a fuck-or-die he would simply die.
Okay but in VR he seduces Lust every time he chops wood in an undershirt or does gardening with bare arms.
"on purpose" is the key word here coughs porridge boy
even in VR where he's fiddled through enough of his one million complexes, he still would not know how to do it. if someone asked him for dating advice he'd be like "Why would you ask me that"
YEAH ON PURPOSE IS THE THING LMAO
It's hilarious considering he is not!married to Miss Seduction herself.
"have you tried being so antithetical to their cynical worldview that you explode? that seemed to go over well"
crossthesky: I think that's in so many ways The Point, too, like. she Cannot have the same relationship she has had with every other link in the long chain of humans that brought her here. he doesn't even speak the language.
SHE SURE CAN'T! It baffles her at first.
in the (SCANT few) interpretations of him in broader fandom, Scar is usually stripped of his sexuality almost if not entirely Because Trauma and while I don't think that's unfair, I think it's less interesting than it being a sad, mangled thing

It's fiiiiine, she got better. Kind of.
I started writing that sentence and my brain was like "Ah. well. you've gone and made it literal, huh" lmao
But also yeah, I agree, I prefer the interpretation where his sexuality is just broken and confused rather than eradicated.
it aligns him so much better to be this antithetical counterpart to Lust than her... failing with him because he's ace. if lust is to be a wrongdoing, let it be desire acted upon with force, not the desire alone.
what splits Scar from his brother and Scar from the Elrics is that he would never transmute a person, even if it feels like their absence is the end of the world. the two motifs fall into a nice alignment, there.
so yeah if Scar is pulling anyone it is never on purpose
he's just done it by accident... a few times, now, in vr lmao. needy men love him.
porridge boy included
He is catnip for needy men
idrk how he deals with women coming onto him there aren't enough in dwrp to know, and Lust doesn't count because she has a special arcane ruleset
but he would be more likely to actually notice it's happening, in which case he would most likely awkwardly try to leave
Scar being hit on by women that are not Lust: 
Scar being his on by Lust:
[But Weird]
[But Weird]

hit* oh well
his sexuality at least isn't a malignant Thing he forces down every morning, now, so he can actually. act upon it. this is not unrelated to him accepting that he is not a dead thing walking only to violently dismantle Amestrian expansion lmao. kind of impossible to be that when he's not in Amestris.
It's such a delight seeing him rediscover being an actual person with a life and interests on his return to VR
^yessss
it's still very sore for him, but he loves his Pokémon and he takes hot showers and holds Lust’s hand in public, now
does he HEAVILY PROJECT how terribly he misses home onto her? .....yes but don't call him on it
He can't be blamed too much, she is literally all he has left of home. Especially with her being all in on learning the language and culture.
that mutual loss is the actual difference maker for me, in him actually being willing to tie himself to her romantically. he's already utterly incapable of ignoring her in the series itself, and there is so much energy pent in the "is of this place that no longer exists, and would no longer belong there even if it did"
